About

Former Glory Inc. is a new, collaborative property venture breathing new life into historic and architecturally significant homes and buildings in Australia.

Launched in 2016 by father-son team Michael and Dean Bialek, Former Glory Inc. focuses on stylish residential and mixed-use prospects, and aims to buck the current trend to “demolish-and-rebuild” that is gradually eroding the architectural character and heritage of Australia’s capital cities, suburbs and regional centres.

The Former Glory Inc. vision is to seek out and collaborate with like-minded partners in the acquisition and / or rejuvenation of beautiful heritage buildings, enabling a new generation to experience the style, character, quality and workmanship of early and mid-20th Century architecture.

Michael Bialek is one of three founding partners of the much-acclaimed Australian architectural practice SJB (formerly 'Synman Justin & Bialek'). Dean Bialek is a design-savvy former diplomat and lawyer with experience in design, project management and build contract administration.
